    Hello Stephen.
    Excuse the photographs of a photograph but this is the set up on one of my boats.
    Nice and simple and reliable….Just like me 😂😂😂.
    Hope it helps.

    Depends on what the original ship has/had and if you are following that design in scale. It seems most smaller boat/ships with three props have a rudder after each prop. Some use the Lurssen Effect where the props are offset.
    Larger ships with 2, 3, or 4 props might have only one rudder.
    I try to follow the real boats in this aspect.
